Rai View Suay Campsite

Notes from our team

What makes it special

The most photographed spot is the bamboo hut corner by the field, looking out over a long line of mountain ridges. Early morning, before the mist fades, is when the view is at its best, layered peaks under soft light that suits photography. The breeze moving across the field all day keeps midday temperatures comfortable. Pitching on a platform rack or in a bamboo hut gives you both the view and a roof against the wind.

Atmosphere

The air up here stays cool throughout a stay, with thick fog rolling in until the view nearly disappears. The wind shifts between gentle and strong depending on the hour, and on some nights rain falls alongside the sound of wind through the bamboo. When mist sinks down to the level of the bamboo huts you can pitch beside, the whole ridge turns white. At night, solar lights along the path give just enough light to walk to the bathrooms without a torch.
